The continuous increase in online shopping has meant smaller and less eventful black Fridays. And also fewer people getting annoyed by looking at Christmas decorations while buying Halloween candy. The proliferation of just in time supply chains means fewer items actually in stores, leading to more online shopping while there are fewer products actually on shelves. It also means smaller Christmas displays. The combination of both has meant there's just less stuff out there for either side to engage with. Combine that with the last like five years all being tempered by the pandemic and the war in Christmas just kinda piddled out.
